We have reflected on the several name changes that ACC has had since 1918, each change more specifically addressing our memberships focus and commitment. Advocacy and Caring for Children allows us to continue with the ACC acronym, while specifically stating our mission and activities. Please join us in celebrating this change by joining us at our 100 year celebration GALA on March 3rd 2018.

ENDOWMENT FUND

ACC Endowment Fund was established by the members of ACC to provide for the long-term funding of our mission to provide care, funding and advocacy for children and families in need. Because an endowment is permanently invested money that produces sustained annual income, every donation to the ACC Endowment Fund impacts the Western Washington families we currently serve as well as those who may be in need in the future. With the support of all the members of the ACC community, which includes members, family and friends, the ACC Endowment Fund will continue to grow – and improve the lives of Western Washington children and families in perpetuity!

Our goal is to reach $1 million by our 100 year celebration! 100 years sounds like a million to us!! We believe this is a dream that will come true. Currently our endowment fund balance is $905,475 (Jan '18).With your endowment fund giftWE can do this together!
